THE 986HP, AWD FERRARI SF90 STRADALE IS THE FASTEST FERRARI ROAD CAR EVER - TWO TAKES

EV Channels Review

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is presented as a series production hypercar that blurs the lines between categories, boasting an astronomical 986 horsepower from its hybrid V8 powertrain. The reviewer highlights its technological advancement, noting the seamless integration of the electric motors and twin-turbo V8, providing immense grip and acceleration, with 0-60 mph achieved in a claimed 2.5 seconds. The Assetto Fiorano package is detailed, offering weight savings and performance enhancements like Multimatic shocks and Cup 2 tires, though it sacrifices the nose lift function. Positives include the car's rigidity, surprisingly compliant ride over bumps thanks to the advanced suspension, and the impressive aerodynamic efficiency. However, the reviewer expresses a strong dislike for the touch buttons and voice control integration, finding them distracting and a potential detractor. Despite its extreme speed, which the reviewer deems beyond usable on public roads, the overall driving experience is described as seamless and exciting, offering a significant amount of input to the driver. The conclusion suggests that while the pursuit of ever-increasing speed might represent diminishing returns, the SF90's hybrid integration is exceptionally well-executed and fun to drive.
